The consequences of Putin's Bombing Campaign in Syria...


Here are the consequences (both intended and unintended) of Putin's Syrian bombing campaign (so far):

1. Delay the fall of the Assad Regime;

2. Prolong the Syrian Civil War;

3. Force more Syrians to flee and 
become refugees in the EU (and the US);

4. Provoke more Sunni Muslims to commit acts of Terror (this time, against Russians too);

5. Decrease the Supply of oil;

6. Increase the Price of oil;

7. Increase Russia's oil revenues;

8. Increase Russia's kitty for buying more bombs; 

9. Make the World forget Russia's annexation of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine;

10. Force Western special operations missions to coordinate with Russia (or run the risk of being accidentally hit by Russian ordnance);

11. Increase the casualty count of Syrian Turkmen;

12. Force Turkey to retaliate against Russia to avenge Syrian Turkmen casualties;

13. Divide NATO into Pro-Turkey and Anti-Turkey factions; and

14. Kill some IS Militants, once in a while.
